Welcome to episode 14 of Ohio 88 where I, your host, Heather Wright, will discuss one of the most notorious individuals from Ross County, Ohio. For this episode, we will be discussing John Warren Parsons.

As a quick summary; John Warren Parsons shot and killed Chillicothe police officer Larry R. Cox while fleeing a gas station robbery in 2005. Detectives arrested him the next week, but his 2006 escape from prison earned him a spot on the FBI's Ten Most Wanted list. Parsons eluded authorities for 83 days before being captured in Chillicothe. He is now serving a sentence of life in prison.

Larry Randolph Cox’s death was one that shook the entire town and changed it, probably forever; according to the article. The notoriety that came with his name and his passing was not forced nor excessive, according to those who had the pleasure of knowing him. In fact, they stated that it fit who he was - a man that meant so much to so many.
